Football is culture. Football is identity. Football is a community.
In this podcast episode, Devin Lebron, a Fitchburg State University junior, talks about the role the game of football has played in his life -- and the challenge he faced in overcoming a severe injury on the field to find his way back to the game and himself.
Written and narrated by Devin Lebron, a Business Administration major with a concentration in Management, "More Than a Game" is the next episode in the Fitchburg Your Story series, which will be published throughout the month of August.
